Recent statements of hate from Don-the-Con Trump were directed at [amongst others] four, first term, elected, progressive, female, Congressman 'of color'. Trump is using old language. He grew up with it. His father was arrested at a 1927 klan rally in New York, and the klan complained about the nasty Irish Catholic police who did assault good Americans.

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly...... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019

....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019

We will never be a Socialist or Communist Country. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY HERE, YOU CAN LEAVE! It is your choice, and your choice alone. This is about love for America. Certain people HATE our Country.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 15, 2019

Trump began his campaign on racism, lies, and hatred, and he has not stopped:

"....The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems...When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapers... — " June 16, 2015

Fiery Cross was the KKK's newspaper printed for some years in Indianapolis Indiana. In Indiana the targets were often European immigrants, Catholics, and Jews. They wanted a real white, Protestant America. A justification for the religious bigotry was that Catholics were not 'America first' because of allegiance to the pope, a foreign prince. So it is true that Trump's language is racist hatred and bigotry, but it stems from a greater more expansive bigotry. 'America first', '100% American', and similar phrases, were used in advertising, and other propaganda to signal who was inside klan acceptability and who was not. The language of "go back where you came from" has been used continuously in the United States. I grew up in Cleveland, and often heard it directed at anyone who spoke with a non-American accent, and their children. I heard it directed at me.
